A man was on the water for his weekly fishing trip. He began his
day with an 8-pound bass on the first cast and a 7-pounder on the second.
On the third cast he had just caught his first ever bass over 11 pounds when
his cell phone rang. It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been
in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU.
The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that he'd be
there as soon as possible.
As he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up to be
his best day ever on the water. He decided to get in a couple of more
casts before heading to the
hospital
He ended up fishing the rest of the morning, finishing his trip
with a stringer like he'd never seen, with three bass over 10
pounds. He was jubilant!
Then he remembered his wife. Feeling guilty, he dashed to the
hospital. He saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about his
wife's condition.
The doctor glared at him and shouted, 'You went ahead and finished
your fishing t rip didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself! While you
were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself on the pond, your wife
has been languishing in the ICU!
It's just as well you went ahead and finished, because it will be
more than likely the last fishing trip you ever take!'
'For the rest of her life she will require 'round the clock care.
And you'll be her care giver forever!'
The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed.
The doctor then chuckled and said, 'I'm just f*&king with you.
She's dead. What'd you catch?'
